Thank you 🙂

That's awsome Jenna we look forward to seeing the next 4 years.great way to live .I spent 10 weeks in the Yukon, spent alot of that time in a teepee . Nothing better than living with nature.take care Jenna .thanks for sharing

[@autumnandchloe]

Wow! I love it. What a peaceful life. I’m doing something similar. No land yet, but living in my RV. Thank you for sharing! Subscribed. 😊

[@nickkatchmar5408]

Great job Gypsy lady! Running water and a mini septic is super easy to install. If the water table is high enough you can pound in a sand point well. Septic is super cheap also if you do it yourself.

[@garymcmullin2292]

wow, what a story. You have come a long way, well done Jenna!

[@nicola3060]

Wow I finally found the right word to find the kind of the RV videos I was looking for ! All the rv videos are for people traveling and packing up and I’m over here in a permanent placed travel trailer on my family’s farm hooked in to city electric and housing plumbing to the sewer ( I don’t even know how the tanks work bcus it just goes right down into the septic system ) . I put some of that spray foam in my walls the other day , also I used it on the pop outs ( this rv isn’t going anywhere ever) and installed a mini split ( I live in the desert 🏜️) who knew the term for this was stationary rv living 😂 loved the video thank you for sharing 😊

[@thomasbennettjr1188]

Just came across this video you are amazing dear I remember buying this mobile home and gutted the whole place and did need kitchen bathroom floors electrical and plumbing loved how you did the same stay safe Jenna

[@PlanetaryThoughts9861]

Your trailer has the classic "Sunline with a Sunsetter awning look", just like the one my parents had around 1994! I miss it more than the stupid "park model" they got around 2000.

[@sharonp.6505]

You're so fortunate to have family property that will allow you to live there for free. Land is getting very expensive and hard to find. We bought a small 4 acre remote property in rural Maine and are building a small cabin and off grid infostructure. We are debt free and have no plans to move from our small comfortable home but it's a wonderful feeling to have a back-up plan and a bug out location if needed plus it's a very fun and interesting project. Watching your videos reminds us that there is a solution to every problem when living an alternative lifestyle. I admire your spunk!

[@gypsyjenna]

Thanks so much and a back up plan is great for sure! Land is expensive, I look from time to time as well

I am so thankful that you share your journey with us. I am tired of the rat race and want to do the same, but I am trying to get my girls through college first ( they dont want to live off grid 😏). After that I plan on going off grid. I have learned so much from you, and it is fun to live vicariously thru you until I can start my dream life 💖

wow - what an amazing project! Must have cost a fortune to get the camper, the land and to gravel up the entire terrain! Did you had a lot of help doing all these projects? You did really well from what you shared. Really love the endresult, and what a fantastic spot to stay on!! Congratulations! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@gypsyjenna]

Thank you! I had lots of help with clearing the land, leveling the gravel and the roof over build. The camper was 4k and I'm lucky enough to squat here for free (family land). the gravel was less than 2k in the end but that's all behind me now thankfully. Initial costs paid for themselves a few times over by now

Oh yes looking back at the work it takes to do this is awesome but totally worth it. It has been great watching everything over the past 4 years. Maybe someday I will settle down enough to be in one spot but for now I gotta stay moving. I have been going since 2014 and have had 2 different rvs for living in. Take care Jenna and I can't wait to see what you do next.

[@matthewknight5641]

You are incredible. Me and my wife are currently building out our 93 model holiday rambler for off grid living. We have the solar done and lots of other creature comforts kinda completed. We admire people like you that show its possible to live like we are going to be living

Wow! I basically have the same story with the same identical trailer, a roof structure, and basically the same cracker, but a different wrapper of your story.

Thank you so much for your videos!!

Now Watching your videos I talked to my hubby about doing what you did but getting s bigg enough piece of land where I can throw up my hot tent on it in the winter be far enough away from my off grid home but know its right there if trouble strikes! Idk lol I am sooo confused lol

[@Indeewoods]

That’s awesome. Would love to sit down and bs about your “rv living evolution”. Used to have a friend that lived like that on and off for years. He’s gone now but we would sit and bs about ways to make our campers better or easier to live in. I went through most of the same things you did but ended it at 4 years. I had much smaller living area,a big goofy brown dog and no home base just bounced around the same general area. I remember the ceiling above my stove getting very hot as well 😂. I think I put tin foil up there to reflect the heat lol. It’s crazy how people have to give such a huge chunk of their paycheque away just to have a roof over their head. Out here buying land is really expensive unless it’s far away from the mountains and in the middle of no where. I walked inside the toy hauler today and was thinking about that lifestyle again. I’m curious as to the property you are on if you bought it or lease it etc. is there a video explaining that?

[@gypsyjenna]

No I have never explained it in a video but sometime I should. One of the most asked questions. I am on family land. I don't own it or rent it. Just lucky enough to stay here for the meantime anyhow

[@Indeewoods]

@@gypsyjennaoh ok I see. Ya that would help for sure. I think that’s the issue for some is that they need to find a home base cheap and that’s not always easy to do but I guess if you get to know people with land some will let you stay on it for a lot cheaper price than renting. Out here there are a few places close to the mountains and they rent out spots all year long. Lots of people that work at the coal mines will stay there with families in the summer then they just stay on their shifts and commute home/repeat. I bought an old woodstove last winter and tonight I was measuring it up to see how it fits in my Toy Hauler. It is really heavy compared to the stainless steel keg I was going to build for it but it’s also lined with fire brick and has built in heat shielding so I’m thinking it might be a lot better at holding heat. My buddy that passed away had the identical Toy hauler as mine and the Keg worked great in his but you couldn’t get 8hrs of kicking out the heat when it got really cold.

[@jeremeywelling2245]

[@chad2886]

Great job! You've got yourself a cozy little place there. I live very similar,off grid, solar, wood heat. It's a rewarding lifestyle of hard work and sacrifice but the freedom and security of knowing you can survive and thrive on very little money is priceless. Debt is a burden that limits your options and controls people's lives, even if they don't realize it.

[@gypsyjenna]

Absolutely! In today's world, many believe debt is just something we all must have!

[@bajahama]

It was great to see how it all began! You should be proud of the progress you’ve made! I’ve been living in my 24’ RV for about 4 years now, but I’m working on building an off grid cabin (if I ever get it done)!

Hello Gypsy Jenna! You are living your dream! Thank you for providing footage from your old camera on your progress, looks great! I'am looking at the possibilities for myself to start a new life living off grid. Question - do you use a service to obtain an address to file tax returns, drivers lic, etc or something else? Love your projects and great success! 😎

Thanks Bruce, I use a family members address to get important documents.

Where's kitty? Do you still have the little cattery built on?

[@gypsyjenna]

I don't really have regrets, yes the housing situation is terrible and nothing is affordable these days. The cats are great, in an apartment with their other parent and still have the catio!

[@jedidiah5131]

Do you plan on adding any additions/extra square footage to your trailer? My sister added a porch, gave her so much more space for storage and all her outdoor gear. She also modified her trailer by putting in a sliding patio door. She's in BC so she could only do so much because of the bylaws....I was surprised to see how many people are living in trailers out there full time, but very understandable. I know so many veterans that are living this lifestyle. Thanks for the video!

[@gypsyjenna]

I have thought about adding a porch multiple times! Have to see what is in the budget though as the price if lumber is still insane

[@earlhaupenthal2444]

The best video. $1000./mo. rent ! You aren't kidding. I'm living in a motel right now at 900/mo. scary in more ways than one. And it's in a small rural town in New Mexico. I'm on the waiting list for low income housing. Might be 2 years. But you're living the dream.

[@tomcatmeow69]

Well interesting video I must say. Kind of happened on your channel as an extension of me looking to see if there is such a thing as a 4 season trailer. I started looking into building my own trailer . I gotta ask how is it in the winter for cold? Is your trailer insulated? Also I have had trailers before and always had mice and ant issues... dam things always seem to find a way in... you have any issues with those varmints?

[@gypsyjenna]

It is not a four season trailer so insulation is minimal. The wood heat helps immensely in winter. Mice do get in so setting snap traps has helped keep them down
